    The document discusses the key components and design considerations of building foundations. It defines foundations as the structural elements that carry loads from the superstructure into the ground. Factors that influence foundation design include soil conditions, structural requirements, site environment, and cost. Footings transmit column loads directly into the soil and come in various types depending on the layout of columns, including isolated, combined, cantilever, continuous, rafted, and pile cap footings. Foundation plans provide a top-down view of footings and walls with dimensions to communicate their locations and connections.

    FOUNDATIONS

    CE 311: Building Design 1


    Foundation
    Foundation is that portion of the structural
    elements that carry or support the
    superstructure of the building.

    The function of a foundation is to transfer the


    structural loads from a building safely into the
    ground.
    Factors affecting design of foundation

    Soil types and ground water table


    conditions.

    Structural requirements and foundations.

    Site condition and environmental factor.

    Economy etc.
    Footing

    Footing is that portion of the foundation of


    the structure which directly transmits the
    column load to the underlying soil or rock;

    Footing is the lower portion of the


    foundation structure.
    Types of Footing

    Wall footings are used to


    support structural walls
    that carry loads for other
    floors or to support
    nonstructural walls.
    Types of Footing

    Isolated or single footings


    are used to support single
    columns. This is one of the
    most economical types of
    footings and is used when
    columns are spaced at
    relatively long distances.
    Types of Footing

    Combined footings usually


    support two columns, or
    three columns not in a row.
    Combined footings are
    used when two columns
    are so close that single
    footings cannot be used or
    when one column is
    located at or near a
    property line.
    Types of Footing

    Cantilever or strap
    footings consist of two
    single footings connected
    with a beam or a strap and
    support two single
    columns. This type
    replaces a combined
    footing and is more
    economical.
    Types of Footing

    Continuous footings
    support a row of three or
    more columns. They have
    limited width and continue
    under all columns.
    Types of Footing

    Rafted or mat foundation


    consists of one footing
    usually placed under the
    entire building area. They
    are used, when soil bearing
    capacity is low, column
    loads are heavy single
    footings cannot be used,
    piles are not used and
    differential settlement
    must be reduced.
    Types of Footing

    Pile caps are thick slabs


    used to tie a group of piles
    together to support and
    transmit column loads to
    the piles.
    Foundation Plan and Details
    A FOUNDATION PLAN is a top view of the
    footings or foundation walls, showing their
    area and their location by distances between
    center lines and by distances from reference
    lines or boundary lines.
    It is a horizontal section view cut through
    the walls of the foundation showing beams,
    girders, piers or columns and openings, along
    with dimensions and internal composition.
    Foundation Plan and Details
    The foundation plan is drawn from
    information presented on the floor plan, and
    elevation plan drawings.
    The foundation plan is drawn at the same
    scale as the floor plan that it will support.
